Fits to data on strong interaction level shifts and widths in pionic atoms, over the whole of the periodic table, are made with the Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equation. Comparisons are made with the conventional Klein-Gordon equation and emphasis is placed on the problem of anomalously small shifts and widths. The Kemmer-Duffin-Petiau equation yields fits which are marginally better than those obtained with the Klein-Gordon equation.
